[QUOTE="Yorksman, post: 659352, member: 55568"] Whilst most type 2 diabetics try to lose weight and, if there is enough weight loss, the progression of the disease is halted, it is not true for all type 2 diabetics. Most type 2 diabetics start with excess fats in the liver which then start to build up in the pancreas and block the insulin producing islets. They in turn start to die off. However, you must be open to the possibility that this is not what is going on with you and it might just be age related. If you want to continue to lose weight, just carry on as you are, it is afterall working but, you could start eating some complex carbohydrates in small amounts, say as 60 g portion of brown rice rather than a 90 g portion of white rice. Same could be true for wholewheat noodle and wholewheat pasta. Also, if you eat beans lentils, most pulses actually, they are very slow to release the carbs and a high percentage of the carns will not be digested anyway. Typically these foods give you wind because they are broken down by bacteria in the lower intestine and not by enzymes in the stomache. You should be able to maintain your weight without making your BG levels rise and still have interesting meals. Mediterranean style meals are also good. Olive oil and a little bit of wine or balsamic vinegar goes well with tomatoes, olives, hams and salamis, salad greens, feta cheese, manchego cheese and a little bit of a wholegrain bread. Fish too. I like 100% wholegrain rye with mackerel in a spicy tomato sauce. [/QUOTE]
